    A healthy society has healthy sex work.

    I disagree. I don’t think paying prostitutes to fuck you is an essential need of society.

    There is no issue with people running onlyfans. Why? Because its legal

    Are we really making the argument that because it’s legal it means it’s good?

    A regulated, legal, legally protected sex industry would eliminate a lot of the issues with sex work. Much harder to traffick people when you need to file their taxes and pass frequent random inspections, and less profitable to traffick people when a legal brothel legally takes your customers

    Just because some rules have negative externalities doesn’t automatically mean we should get rid of the rule.

      If you cant read, sure. But the actual argument you were given was making it legal makes it safe.

      I dunno if you just dont pay attention, or what, but humans sell their bodies for a living. Not just for sex, but in general. Any society with work will have people who want to work by fucking.

      Unless you think onlyfans is full of people held at gunpoint? No, those are people choosing to make that content, for compensation.

      Making that content legal means legal requirements and restrictions to force sex work to be safe. I dont really care about your quaker fueled puritan ideals of “”“good”“” around sex, you can duke that out with your therapist. What I care about is making it safe.

      I want hookers off the street, where they are victims of murder, kidnapping, sex slavery, drug use, etc etc etc. Legal sex work gets them off the street and out of the hands of pimps.

      I want sex slaves freed, and no more kidnapped. Legal sex work drains the incentive of a sex black market, making it less profitable to sell someone into slavery when your would-be customers can get laid cheaper and legally.

      I want stds under control. Illegal sex work spreads them like wildfire. Legal sex work requires regular testing and treatment for both parties, hampering the spread of disease.

      People arent going to stop fucking, nor stop wanting money. Wake up or grow up about sex. Peoples lives are lost or ruined because of black market sex slavery. Legalizing sex work shines a light at that black market.

        Sex work does not contribute anything to society other than creepy men getting their fix.

          That’s not even remotely true.

          Have you ever actually spoken to a sex worker before?

          They primarily sell intimacy.

          People are able to tell and be things around sex workers that they can’t be in their daily lives.

          In one of your other posts, you said that sex shouldn’t be commodified. Well, we live in a society where EVERYTHING is commodified while simultaneously alienating people to perform their peak consumption.

          Sex isn’t holy. It’s a need that we all have, like water, food, and oxygen. When you make it so that people who are bad at getting it can’t get it at all, you make a population of stressed out, deprived, and desperate people.

          Sex workers bring so much more to the table than being a cum dump. A good sex worker gives you a safe place to be yourself and meet your base, primal needs. That’s not just valuable, that’s invaluable.

            You don’t need sex. You sound like an incel with that kind of rhetoric. You can survive 100% fine without sex, but you can’t without water, food and oxygen. I seriously hope you aren’t that stupid.

              Do you masturbate? Watch pornography? Have sexy dreams?

              Oh, sorry, we having an internet argument. Let me come down to your level.

              You are so very dumb stupid and it is so much that I can’t believe it (because I am not, I am a very smart special boy). I am going to ignore your entire post and hyper focus on one sentence because it is so dumb and offensive that it is smelly and bad like a big poop dumpster on fire. No, wait, that would be an insult to poop dumpsters, so make it two poop dumpsters.

              As you can see, my argument is incapable of being critiqued, and I am so good at making my point that you must back away and crown me Best Arguing Boy on the internet.

              There. Now I’m glad that we’ve been productive and had good faith discourse and neither of us looks like a pedantic shithead.
